Under the program, people can either buy an annual membership for around $100, or a weekly or daily pass, at street kiosks or online. The price of those passes hasn't been settled on.

Alta Bicycle Share, a company that runs bike share programs around the world, will run the program.

Tuesday’s meeting will be the first of many in neighborhoods across Manhattan and Brooklyn where residents will be able to place the stations.

The stations will typically be about 1,000 feet apart, can’t be on narrow sidewalks, and should avoid being on parking spaces in busy avenues.

Most of the decision-makers behind the project will be at the meeting, including representatives from the city’s Department of Transportation and Community Board 4, State Senator Tom Duane, Councilwoman Gale Brewer, and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried.
